Austin Johnson knows the feeling of a ship adrift, and it's a sinking one. Three years ago, during his freshman year, the Rutgers men's basketball team went a month without a head coach when it transitioned from Fred Hill to Mike Rice.

"That seemed like it lasted forever," said Johnson, a senior center who graduates next month. "You go from being in such a structured situation where you're going to classes and then all your eatings and workouts are organized by the coaching staff, and then the next day it's a state of disarray. You don't really know what to do."
